Poi - Forward swing

Put the Poi in your hands and start swinging them in the direction shown. Take note that the palms of the hands are only facing down and forwards.

Tips/Hints
If you swing with your palms facing each other the Poi will come in together and cross or tangle. So always keep you palms facing down and forward. Pretend to push air away from you as the Poi pass over your head.

Once you find a comfortable fitting for your handles [there are MANY different ways to do so, just find one that fits you] go and find yourself a nice big wall...stand parallel to the wall and spin with your hand by your hip. both directions. allow your Poi to hit the wall, doing so will align then to a correct plane. once you get confident enough you should be almost flush against the wall...do this for some time with both hands, in both directions, facing the wall, away from the wall, in front of you, behind you, and all places you can think to place your arm when spinning. this will make you very comfortable with your Poi and you will later be able to spin with ease in places many find difficult. i have been spinning for some time now, and i've done this training exorcise recently, and it dramatically helped my spinning.

Good luck, and happy spinning. ! xXx

A circle is a beautiful shape...I love being able to use this shape and recreate it in many forms through poi!

Hello im also from the philippines. wink I started learning Poi just 2 years ago. I got my Poi from boracay ( Ribbon Poi and Fire Poi ) I think you can get those from places such that or better yet you can buy online. hope this is helpful. smile

the instruction says, Take note that the palms of the hands are only facing down and forwards but if you freeze frame/advance through the 8 second mark, you can clearly see that her palms are facing up at that point of rotation!!!
